My FIRST DAY in KRAKOW | POLAND'S Most Visited City

I'm taking a train from Wroclaw to Krakow today. It's my first time visiting this famous Polish city and I'm beyond excited. After a short 3 hour train ride I arrived at the Krakow main station. After a walk through a mall, I arrived at a Plaza. From there it was a short walk to the Florian's Gate and Barbican Castle. Then the Main Square and famous Basilica were the next stop. It is the most magnificent town square I've seen in Poland. From there I walked through a bazaar and later checked in to the Meininger Krakow Hostel. Which is an amazing new hotel.

    Kerry ... one more tip about polish language. Everytime when you have a word ending CKI or CKA, for example MARIACKA, CKA is not just 2 sounds, but 3. Try pronounce it like TZKA. C=TZ. In english when you got CK, C letter is silent. Not in polish language. C you always pronounce like TZ. So for example in Wrocław: DWORZEC ŚWIEBOCKI you sdhould pronounce ŚWIEBOTZKI, not just ŚWIEBOKI. I hope you will get it quick :) Take care.

    @@TravelAddictGuy Probably because Poland never had colonies. That's why it's more expensive. Spain negotiates with countries like Colombia, Guatemala, México because they were former colonies and I think that's why coffee is less expensive in Spain. It has to do with the yearly Ibero America get together Spain has in Iberoamérica to discuss diplomatic relations with the former colonies etcetera.

    24:58 you should not read the oppinions on Internet. I mean, maybe a small procentege, like 7-10 % max have a negative opinion towards Ukrainians. And those people are very loud about their opinnions in the Internet but do not represent the majority. I mean, of course the support for Ukraine in two years changed from "lets give Ukraine everything we can, so they can wit the war" to "I hope Ukraine wins the war, but lets focus on our problems". BTW, I live so close to Krakow (like 120 km), and I was not on the Wawel castle since I was a kid 🤣
